Imaushi Wakasa

The Black Dragon is a Tokyo motorcycle gang that has been actively ruling Japan for several generations.

Founded by Shinichiro Sano in his youth, the Black Dragons have been the leading criminal gang in the Kanto region for generations.

The founders of the First Generation were most often dressed in black biker uniforms, similar to the Tokyo Swastika.

The Black Dragon has a unique structure with a systematic process of succession. It operates through the rise and fall of "eras," called "generations," led by a generational leader chosen either by their predecessor or by members of the previous generation. In one famous case, the leader was personally appointed by the founder, Shinichiro Sano.

In the first generation, there were two famous units - the Guard and the Special Attack Squad, which were led by the two founders - Keizo Arashi and Wakasa Imaushi.

Wakasa, or Waka, is one of the founders and captain of the Black Dragon Special Attack Squad. He earned the nickname "White Leopard."

Best friend of Shinichiro Sano, Takeomi Akashi, Keizo Arashi/Benkei.

Wakasa is a man in his early twenties of average height with slightly feminine features. During his time in the first-generation Black Dragon, Wakasa had styled blond hair and wore the group's traditional uniform. When he was the leader of the Shining Alliance, he wore the gang's white uniform. He has drooping lilac eyes and holds a dango stick between his pursed lips, giving him a haggard and relaxed appearance. His eyelashes are particularly long, and he wears a red teardrop earring in his left earlobe.

Wakasa appears bored most of the time. He is uninterested in the prospect of battle, despite his high self-confidence, and even in combat, he has a weary expression. He is exceptionally reliable in leading his squad and has earned the trust of his subordinates over time. Wakasa is also a staunch adherent of the principles of the first generation Black Dragon and cares endlessly for his friends.

Has no weaknesses.
Strong in hand-to-hand combat and reaction accuracy.
He is an excellent motorcycle rider and is second only to Shinichiro Sano in terms of experience in riding a motorcycle.

Wakasa looked up to Shinichirō as the founder and leader of the First Generation of Black Dragons. Before joining Shinichirō's gang, Wakasa led a life of turmoil as the leader of the Shining Alliance, but was ultimately disciplined by Shinichirō when he resolved the dispute between Wakasa's gang and Benkei's gang—Ragnarok. As a recognized member of the First Generation of Black Dragons, Wakasa was presumably one of his trusted companions.

Takeomi is another of Wakasa's closest friends. They ruled the First Generation of the Black Dragon together.

Keizo Arashi - Despite their initial hostility, Benkei is now one of Wakasa's closest friends. Wakasa's gang, the Shining Alliance, was at odds with Benkei's Ragnarok gang.

Shinichiro Sano is the leader and founder of the Black Dragon. He is the older brother of Manjiro and Emma Sano, as well as the older adoptive brother of Izana Kurokawa. He also looked after Seishu Inui. He is currently around 20 years old.

Shinichiro has short, casually styled hair that matches his dull black eyes. He is slim and fit, tall, with a heart-shaped face, very similar to his younger brother, Manjiro Sano. He has thin lips and smokes cigarettes frequently. Despite running a motorcycle repair shop, he is never seen in uniform, preferring casual clothes. Shinichiro wears a pearl-white shirt, light jeans, and comfortable shoes. Sometimes, while working, he wears a jacket wrapped around his waist. He rarely wears accessories, but he does have a silver chain around his neck.

As a delinquent teenager, Shinichiro had a neat pompadour hairstyle and wore the traditional Black Dragon uniform.

Shinichiro was described as "weak with women, weak in fights, but reliable." Shinichiro was a notorious brawler with an unrivaled reputation, earning the respect of many hooligans, both within his own gang and rival gangs. Although he was a terrible fighter, his caring nature, ability to stand up for others, and humble character earned him the loyalty of many hooligans far stronger than himself.

As a result of his high status, his motorcycle shop became a place where hooligans could gather freely, and where every customer showed Shinichiro nothing but respect. He saw the good in people and hoped they would find the right path in life, rather than walk alone.

Shinichiro is a legendary criminal, a well-known figure in the criminal world. Even older generations of criminals talk only about his personality and his ability to lead criminals, regardless of their background.

As the founder of the Black Dragon, he held complete command of one of the most powerful gangs ever to exist. His guidance and leadership were highly regarded, allowing him to lead countless influential criminals.

Shinichiro is said to be a truly formidable fighter, and many of those who swore allegiance to him were significantly stronger than him. In contrast, Shinichiro is shown to be able to defeat several bandits and dent a wall. Shinichiro can dent a pillar with a single blow, and he appears to be impervious to pain.

Shinichiro possesses unrivaled charisma. He is able to inspire others through his ability to stand up for others, as well as his impressive modesty despite his fame. These traits earned Shinichiro universal respect, and his leadership was viewed favorably. Despite being a very weak fighter, he was capable of leading not only the Black Dragon but also the underworld, as even rival gangs respected him.

Takeomi Akashi is the vice-leader of the first generation Black Dragon.

Haruchiyo Akashi's older brother.

Akashi is lanky and tall. He has black hair with white streaks at the temples. He is rarely seen without a cigarette, suggesting he is a chronic smoker. His most distinctive feature is a long scar running vertically down the right side of his face.

He gives the impression of being a serious and silent man. He also smokes and can always be seen with a cigarette. Akashi remains composed even in the face of danger.

He doesn't take slander very lightly.

As the founder and deputy head of the first generation of the Black Dragon, Takeomi wields considerable authority and influence within the criminal underworld. He is also Shinichiro Sano's right-hand man and often acts as his advisor, offering advice when needed.

Keizo Arashi or Benkei is one of the founders and captain of the first generation Black Dragon.

Benkei is a tall, muscular man who towers over his peers, accentuating his intimidating aura. He has platinum-blonde hair, a crew cut that blends into a Dutch beard, and gold piercings in both ears. He has determined, wide-open eyes, a prominent nose, dark skin, and a grimace that often transforms into a gnashing of teeth when displeased. Benkei also has large tattoos adorning his arms and chest. As a teenager, he had a clean-shaven face and dark hair styled into pigtails. He was most often seen in his Ragnarok and Black Dragon forms.

Thanks to the honorary titles he acquired and the gangs he commanded in his youth, Benkei earned a respected name in the Tokyo underworld. His former titles as the head of Ragnarok and captain of the Black Dragon's first-generation guards attest to his leadership qualities, as he is known as a responsible man who places his duties within the gang above all else. Benkei holds the Black Dragon's original ideals in high regard, having been a close confidant of the group.

In battle, Benkei is known for his particularly fiery temper. His loud admonitions to his comrades also provide comedic relief, especially when he chastises Wakasa Imaushi for his grandiose outburst.

As a teenager, Benkei was the leader of one of the most powerful gangs of his time, giving him enormous power over much of Kanto.

With his muscular build, Benkei can deliver devastating blows to his opponents, as well as deflect their attacks while remaining unfazed.

Manjiro Sano, or Mikey, is Shinichiro Sano's younger brother. He is currently 10 years old.

Maika has no parents, so he lived with his grandfather along with Emma and Shinichiro, who Maika says acted like parents to them.

Mikey is typically a carefree teenager who enjoys joking around and playing pranks on those he considers his close friends. He cares deeply for them and is determined to protect their honor.

Mikey is a teenager of below average height, with piercing black eyes and short blond hair in a casual, messy cut.

Emma Sano is Shinichiro and Maika's half-sister and Izana Kurokawa's adoptive younger sister. She is currently 9 years old.

Emma was a short girl, very similar to her mother, Karen Kurokawa, and also slightly resembling her older brother, Manjiro Sano. She had a rather feminine figure for her age. She had sandy-blond hair, which she wore in a ponytail.

Izana Kurokawa is the older brother of Manjiro Sano and Emma Sano, and the younger brother of Shinichiro Sano. He is currently around 13 years old.

Izana was a young man of average height, with large, empty violet eyes and a tanned complexion due to his half-Filipino heritage. His bleached blond hair, cut in a center part, appeared almost white.

Izana is a rather closed, albeit active, child; he trusts and opens up only to familiar people and is undisguisedly suspicious of new people.

Takeomi Akashi's younger brother. He is currently about 11 years old.

As a young man, he had short, blond hair cut into a buzz cut. He has no scars and is close to the children of Shinichiro Sano's family.

He is fussy and a little wary by nature, but due to his age, he immediately opens up as soon as he gets to know a person better.

Seishu Inui, or Inupi. A close friend of Kokonoi Hajime and Shinichiro Sano's family. He is currently around 11 years old.

Inupi is above average height and slender, bearing a strong resemblance to his older sister, Akane Inui, in appearance. His skin is pale, but his left eye bears a deep burn scar from a fire he suffered as a child. His light hair, parted in the middle and cut in a sunflower-like style, contrasts with his dark emerald eyes and neutral expression.

Inupi is usually a calm and quiet person. He is very loyal to Kokonoi, whom he considers his best friend. When he finds people he trusts, he devotes himself to them completely. He is brave, but willing to show his vulnerable side and open up.

Being an ardent follower of Shinichiro, Inui inherited from him a vast knowledge of motorcycle mechanics.
